Why it was selected for “CBNation Architects”:
In this episode, the guest is Angela Singleton, a Baltimore-based portraitist focusing on newborn photography. Angela Sanford’s work targets encapsulating the touching connection existing between parents and their children.
Key Points:
Background and Artistic Goal: Angela Singleton's passion for photography started while she was young and amplified when she had her own child. Angela aims to eternalize the emotional bond between parents and their children, focusing on the near-spiritual connection that the latter bring into the parents' lives. With the accelerating shift into the digital age and the risk of many memories being lost, Angela finds it crucial to provide her clients with a tangible memento to carry throughout their generations.
Work Process: Angela offers a high-touch concierge type of service, likening herself to a home-visiting doctor but in the photography context. Angela manages everything from start to finish, including custom planning, outfit selections, backdrop decisions, image selection, album design, and even installation of wall portraits.
CEO Hack: To improve her productivity and mental clarity Angela resorts to doing a "brain dump" by writing everything down and removing the negative aspects from her life.
CEO Nugget: 'Be yourself' is Angela's nugget of wisdom for business success.
CEO Defined: Angela sees empowerment as the core of what defines a CEO.
Angela Singleton is also a devoted member of the Professional Photographers of America and offers her photographic services to "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep," an organization providing bereavement photography.
